The Summer
Session will run this year from Tuesday, July 6, through Thursday,
August 26. This will allow eight weeks of private lessons, or a nice
opportunity to try a different approach to music instruction, perhaps
with an ensemble, or singing, or learning some music theory. We are
offering SUMMER SPECIAL pricing, because it is likely that you would
miss a class due to important family vacations, etc.

Time: Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Broadway Performance – To sing & act within
a theatrical scene means a performer must create a character both vocally
and physically. This group workshop for boys & girls ages 6 - 9 will
focus on learning and performing these skills & techniques. The course
will result in a live performance of selected songs from “Annie,
Jr” for family and friends, at the end of the session. All voices
and ability levels are welcome.

Dates: July 7 - August 25, 2010, 7 lessons and a performance
Cost: $120, including materials

Cabaret Performance – In the spirit of the popular
television series “GLEE,” we believe that everyone has the
ability to sing if they want to work at it. We invite anyone, 10 years
old through high school, to select songs that are appropriate to their
level of experience, and through the direction and coaching offered by
the instructor, build the necessary vocal and physical character to perform
the songs. The course will result in a live performance by each student,
or group of students, for an audience of family and friends, at the end
of the session.
Time: Wednesdays, 7:30 – 8:45 p.m.
Dates: July 7 - August 25, 2010, 7 lessons and a performance

Woodwind Ensemble -- Have you been playing your instrument
for at least two years? Then it’s time to take your playing to a
new level, and have some extra fun with it. Any student of clarinet, saxophone,
or flute can join an ensemble of musicians playing the same, or related,
instruments, to enhance their private lessons. Al Martin will conduct a
class which allows time for students to play individually (in a master
class fashion), and as a group to create new and beautiful sounds together.
